.. _xsil2graphics2:

``xsil2graphics2``
===================

**xsil2graphics2** is a way of converting ".xsil" files to formats that other programs can read.  The syntax is described in the :ref:`QuickStartTutorial`, and by using the ``xsil2graphics2 --help`` option.  It currently can covert any output format for use by Mathematica.

We recommend HDF5 format instead of the binary format for output and input, as many visualisation tools can already read/write to this format directly.
